Luminescent expression patterns from important B. anthracis promoters are affected by anthrose status. Growth and luminescent expression experiments in HIB + Km10 were used to characterize expression of lux from the (A) Pant, (B) PatxA, (C) Plef, (D) PpagA and (E) PsigF promoters over 48 h. In each graph, growth (OD at 600 nm; first column of graphs) or luminescence (RLU; second column of graphs) of the Sterne WT is in blue and the Sterne ΔantC mutants is in red. Luminescent imaging of solid plate colonies at 24 h are below the broth time courses. Growth and luminescent curve data from two independent experiments carried out in triplicate with the mean and standard error of the mean at each timepoint shown.
